birthday bliss ♡

I see birthdays as the start of a new year.  And this time around, I had the BEST new years ever! I had an amazing time with spectacular friends....and of course it wouldn't be my birthday without loads of fabulous fashion....

Here's a few snapshots of my beautiful friends and my BIRTHDAY BLISS!

  

  

Dress: AKA NY

Shoes: Aldo

Key Ring & Gold Bangle: House of Harlow (Thanks Mandy!)

Frog Ring: Boutique Find by my Mommy!

Thanks to all my amazing friends, I had the best birthday...I'm so looking forward to another year filled with fabulous memories and of course fierce fashion.  With friends like these, it's a given! 

Getting older is a blessing when you have birthdays like this with loved ones like mine! :) ♡

p.s. extra special thanks to the friends that put the whole thing together...i love you guys SO much! xx

Lanvin Lover.

I seriously love Spring time.  Flowers, sunshine, pool parties, my birthday (May 20th...wink wink), and especially spring fashion! Obviously Lanvin brings it with a show stopping Spring/Summer collection.  LOVE.

Lanvin showed color, neutrals, sequins, ruffles, snakes, chains...I mean, jump into my dreams and then make a runway show.  It will look like this one.  Right down to the models styling. (Although while I'm all about the girls rockin' the seriouso look, some of them seem downright angry in this show. IDK how you can be THIS mad in THESE clothes!) 

killer dress. but really, if looks could kill...??

I've been lusting over this particular line for a while now, the ad campaign is to-die-for and tons of celebs have been killing it left and right in Lanvin. The ruffles/draped dresses seem to be making the most frequent appearances on the red carpet.  Probably because these pieces look SO amazing on SO many women, and let's face it these dresses are a bit safer than...say...a sequined jumpsuit.  

I'm just sayin', with my birthday coming up and I wouldn't hate rocking a Lanvin sequined jumpsuit.  Ya know.  'Cause why not?

SJP, Audrey Tatou, Maggie Gyllenhall

The Lanvin S/S 2010 runway show was also especially rich in the world of accessories.  I'm of the belief system that the right accessories make or break an outfit.  I'm loving Tatou's red shoes and clutch with her coral dress, for instance.  The Lanvin show had lots of looks with one leather glove...which I am kind of dying for.  So...keep an eye out for me sporting this look basically immediately.

Over the moon for this look especially!  Head to toe, the shoes dress clutch...necklace under a sheer top is such a modern way to accessorize and play with this spring's textures and heavy jewels. And there's that leather glove! Beauty.

Lanvin is a fashion house that does draping, structure and embellishment impeccably.  This collection knocked it out, so obviously we're seeing it all over fashionistas and starlets alike.

Just a few of my other favorite looks after the jump! If Lanvin is out of your price range (no shame, let's face it being a reccesionista is tres fab these days!), let this line be an inspiration to you. Lanvin's styling is out of this world.  And there are definitely ways to achieve these looks on a budget!

Love Lanvin and Love YOU!
